Hi;I'm a new member in this plateform. I'm so delighted to join you friends.

I really appreciate him for this.I hope to be a sincere friend for you guys and a devoted learner. Please accept my friend request and let me learn English as well as you. Wish to enjoy learning English together.Best Regards,HuriehSeptember 7th/2014

How are you? I hope all is going well with you. Thank you very much for completing the questions. The majority of answers are correct, but in order to practice more I am writing the complete sentences.

Welcome to this thread. Thank you very much for joining us. I got surprised when I saw you first post. Your writing is great. I hope we will help each other improve our English language skills through writing and reading in this place.

Please do not hesitate to share your experience in English learning with us. You can set some grammatical questions and ask us to answer them. Dear Setayesh used to do that, although for a very short time. It seems she is busy these days.

Thank you very much for your welcoming and praising my writing .I have no word to express my special gratitude. Your page is great and seems you and your cool friends are really literate based on your former posts. It's my pleasure to be a member of this unique and exclusive group.

I'm not completely familair to your methods and interest. please let me know what I should do exactly...Although I've never been a good follower, but I hope to keep up with you properly... ...When I entered a group I tried to change their atmosphere for the sake of diversity with respect to their rules and opinions...I can't stand routine and traditional methods .I hardly get habituated to something and follow it for a long time. If I were successful in making a new approach in a group I would stay there, Otherwise I would abandon there. Routine affairs kill my talents, skills and abilities and in contrast, diversity revive me. I also do respect to the rules of your group and never expect you to confirm my whole ideas.Dear Behnam, I hope you look at the half full of the glass not half empty, and never consider it rude. In my opinion, by dividing responsibilities and creating new methods learning process will become more exciting and efficient. As you well know, native English speakers use pharsal verbs more in their speech. I like to learn different phrasal verbs in sentence structures as much as I can. I also like to learn different and unknown expressions and idioms. I will adhere to your rules and laws. I'm not sure whether or not you agree. I'm waiting for your permission. Regards,Hurieh.September 9th/2014

Thank you for following the thread and posts. Good luck with practicing.

Actually, we haven't got any rules, regulations, laws, limitations, restrictions or whatever you call it. However, according to our bitter experience, politics and religion are two heated topics. These topics create tension, violence, and conflict. Amazingly, that's difficult to convince someone of political and religious issues. In fact, nobody gets convinced of those things. Therefore, that's peaceful and wise to avoid writing about these topics. By the way, degrading women is not acceptable. In addition to them, porn and dirty jokes are not allowed in accordance with an unwritten law that we all obey!

When it comes to practising English, there is no limitations and restrictions on the skills. You can focus on phrasal verbs, grammars, collocations, idioms, proverbs, etc.

I'm quite well, up to my eyes in my thesis. I hope life is treating you well. Thanks for your replying and accepting my suggestion. You are completely right. Discussing those controversial issues is completely wasting time and also unacceptable. I'll adhere to everyones's beliefs, attitudes whatnot. In psychology there is a rule that says "The best way for avoiding any conflict and quarrel is to keep from convincing others. The more we try to convince them to reject their ideas and confirm us, the more we will run in to failure.Because noboby likes to accept his/her failure."I'll do my best to make you and our friends satisfied.

Hi friends;In this post we're gonna learn some expressions which are followed with examples. I draw your attention to these four expressions bellow. They're as easy as a piece of cake. You might be familiar with them. Look over and use them in your daily conversations.============================================================== 1) Be in the same boat = Be in the same unpleasant situation

ex1: I'll have to stay up all night to study for that examI'm in the same boat !I'll have to stay up,tooWhy don't we study together?ex2: I can't believe that we got a flat tire.Look across the street .those people are in the same boat.==============================================================2) I have news for you = I have something to tell you

ex: He just told me that I won't be able to work here anymore.I have news for you. He just told the same thing to twenty other people.=============================================================3) Write something down = Write on a piece of paper

ex: My phone number is 642-5933.Can you remember that?Probably not.I'd better write it down.do you have a pen?NOTE:To write something is not exactly the same.you write a letter,but you don't write down a letter.you write down specific information such as phone numbers, addresses, notes, etc,in order to remember it.==============================================================4) Be going on = Be happening

ex1: What's going on in here?who are all these people?Oh,hi,dad.we're having a party.I hope It's ok...ex2: What's new?Oh,there's so much going on.my sister just had a baby,our dog ran away.We're going to move.

I’m so sorry for being late in answering you. These days I’m so busy with everything in my life. I’m so happy seeing you active in this thread. Dear Mushaf I’m an Iranian girl and I’m living in Tehran. I saw that you’ve written about your major! Great! You’re studying business studies! It’s a very good major. Specially for ladies, although I don’t have any idea about your gender! As your major relates to business I wonder if there is any special working situation that you are fancy to work in at?

Thanks for joining us. I’m so proud of this thread which has gathered all knowledgeable, educated and intellectual people together. I’m very grateful to dear Behnam who has given us this chance to make friend with such nice people like you around the world. Dear Hurie, I’ve read some of your posts on FB. Your English is incredibly good! I’m so happy that you are here, it let us learn a lot of new thing from you.

Oh I talked a lot without introducing myself! My name is Setayesh I’m 26 years old and, I’m living in Tehran. I’ve studied Accounting and it’s nearly 6 months that I’ve graduated from Master course. I really love English. Every other days after working hours, I go to English class.It gives me a good chance not be away from English lessons.

Welcome to our lovely thread.Honestly, reading your posts I couldn't help feeling jealous of your English You have written so well. Well done.

It's so nice to have you with with us here and practice English together. We ca also exchange ideas about different topics and learn from each other. You should have seen old days of our thread when it was very very busy and we would talk on many many topics, good old days...

But I believe every single person is a world by him/her self, also a new book. One of the most enjoyable things for me in life is to read others' books. As a matter of fact, not every one's book is interesting, at least fr me; but I smell your book to be worth reading, or at least go through it's pages and take a look depending on how much you let us!

By the way, I'm Elham, 25 year old from Esfahan.I've studied Chemical Engineering and at the present I'm looking for job. I'm glad to make friend with you.

I'm so pumped and excited of your hospitality that i can't express my feeling. Now I'm feeling such a bird that's flying in the air , near clouds...I have no words to express my sincere thanks; not only to you but also to dear Behnam who has gathered us here. I confess "YOU ARE ALL GREAT".You praised my literacy, while your English is much better and you are also highly educated in your own majors . It's really nice of you. I'm so delighted to have such nice friends . Your statements were full of marvelous and friendly feeling that I could sense it apparently at the bottom of my heart, even through virtual space.Dear Elham, you are ABSOLUTELY right. As we read in Imam Ali's Nahjolbalaghe, everyone is like a unique world. I DO believe this and this is why I like to hang out with different people with different thoughts, attitudes,social position ,age whatnot. Everyone has his/her flavour . Infact they look at the world from their own perspective. I try to hang out with them to learn at least a good tip of them. Altough i have lots of friends (loyal friends) arround myself, but i confess your friendship is something else. It's a great chance for me to expand the range of my friendship circle and have such educated and sincere friends even far from myself.Dear Setayesh i really appreciate you for prising my comments on FB . I like to get acquainted to you and daer Elham much more. Although I'm a bit tied up these days, but I'll try to get in touch with you more by writing on this threads. I wish all the best for both of you. Dear Elham I also wish you could find your favorite job as soon as possible, the one that you really deserve it.Take care of yourself dear friends as much as a person who care about you hundreds Kilometer away , or even further.

right now I lost a long post I had written to you I'm angry and to be hoest I don't feel like writing it word by word again, so I make it short...

Thanks for your warm and friendly post.Your reply really motivated me write. It means a lot to me cause it was a long time I really wanted but was not motivated and your posts energized me again, thanks

Tomorrow I'm going to a 3-day trip and after that next week I'll be here to enjoy writing to and reading from you...

Hi dear Elham,Why anger..Take it easy and never worry about it..you have already proved your sincerity to me...I look forward to seeing you back. I have alot to share with you. Have a nice trip ahead. try to enjoy every moment of it.Regards; Hurieh

How are you? I hope you are enjoying every minute of your life. The autumn is coming. I can smell the smell of it in Tehran now. That's my favourite season. I love fall(but not falling) very much! Nobody is going to compete the questions about lesson???
